Def. white, or a light pink. I think anything light in color should show up

Its not just about the color of the ink but type of paper you have and what type of printer you are using. Some cardstock needs to be printed with ink jet and others with laser printer. For example metallic paper has to be done on a specific printer, it needs to be a laser printer. But also will depend on how heavy your cardstock is, some regular home printers have a hard time printing very heavy cardstock.

ETA: i just looked at the link you posted and it says the envelopes are the light blue color.
